Jewish Education

This Web site was designed to help you in your search for quality Jewish education opportunities whether they are in the form of Jewish high schools, Hebrew classes, or Jewish boarding schools. You can even find information on Jewish summer camps, private Jewish schools and Jewish classes for adults.

Living in a non-Jewish world can pose a problem for those who want to immerse themselves in the Jewish culture and provide educational opportunities for their children that they just can't find in traditional public schools. Even if a child must attend a secular school they can benefit from a summer experience at a Jewish camp to get that injection of culture and religion they need to keep going throughout the year.

The Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE) is a great resource for those searching for Jewish educational opportunities. You can find out more about their annual conferences, EXPO, membership, elections, staff and even online multimedia learning and job boards.

The following is just a sample of the resources available to you in your search for quality Jewish schools and educational opportunities and even where to go to find Jewish singles!

• Machers
• JDate
• Columbia University Center for Israel & Jewish Studies
• The Jewish Theological Seminary
• Braneis University
• Hebrew College

Those that are searching for the Jewish schools that can give them the academic setting they wish for might consider the following tips on choosing the right one for their child or their families.

• Academics and Jewish culture should be combined for the most beneficial learning experience. If you can't find a Jewish school in your area supplement a secular school with after school opportunities.
• In order to build Judaism a Jewish education is required. One that establishes and supports Jewish values in grades K-12.
• The schools should provide a warm and caring Jewish environment.
• A firm curriculum of Jewish subjects, knowledge, practice and the love of Israel should be in place.
• The school should have nationally recognized high standards in the secular subjects.
• A full Jewish social life should exist.
